Investors piled back into Nvidia and other U.S. AI stocks Tuesday, although recent volatility had some on Wall Street tempering their expectations.

Guidance for next quarter’s revenue was better than expected at $850 million at the midpoint, 1.2% above analysts’ estimates.

CrowdStrike Holdings was recently the Nasdaq's best-performing stock as it and other cybersecurity companies got a boost after Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek reported a cyberattack.

The Nasdaq and other major indexes rebounded on Tuesday, recovering from the sharp sell-off triggered by DeepSeek’s crash, which had sent AI stocks tumbling. Nvidia, which plunged over 16% on Monday, regained more than 7% in the rebound.
